"Brother......" Zhang Lingling's eyes widened, looking at the scene around her in disbelief. In just two blinks of an eye, the five people around him had turned into five corpses. For a while, this little girl who had never seen the world stood there stupidly, her mind was blank, and she didn't know if she was scared or too surprised.

11 gently pushed Zhang Lingling away, walked to the corpse of the fourth brother, squatted, groped around on him for a while, and took out a lighter.

Zhang Lingling didn't dare to leave 11 half a step, tugged on his clothes tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, you killed someone." ”

returned to the bed where Zhang Lingling was lying just now, picked up the quilt and lit it with a lighter.

"Brother!" Zhang Lingling pushed 11's arm, her body shook lightly with a frightened expression, and said in a trembling voice: "What are you doing? Let's run away! If there is a fire, everyone here will come, and we won't be able to escape." ”

"Wait a minute. 11 Throwing the burning sheet on the bed, he said: "This bed contains your head, the cells on the surface of your body, the fibers of your clothes, and your tears, and you must be burned, otherwise the police may find you based on clues." ”

Zhang Lingling was stunned for a moment, raised her head and looked at 11's cold face with some surprise. She wasn't surprised that 11 knew so much, but she was very moved, 11 whether it was killing people or burning beds, it was all for her.

Zhang Lingling buried her head under 11's armpit and couldn't help sobbing: "Brother, I'm sorry. ”

11 patted her on the shoulder, looked at the bed that had begun to emit billowing black smoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Has anyone seen you walk into this room?"

Zhang Lingling shook her head.

"Let's go. 11. Took Zhang Lingling's hand, bypassed the blood stains on the ground, and walked to the door. Just opened the door. I saw a woman dressed in a masseuse's clothes passing by the door. The light of the fire in the room caught her attention, and as she glanced inside, 11 suddenly grabbed her throat with lightning speed, and stabbed the moon into her heart. The woman clutched 11's arms and stared at him with wide eyes, as if she wanted to remember the face of the person who killed her. It's just that no matter how she looks, she can't see the face that is close at hand. The last impression is only a pair of cold, unvariated eyes. Eventually, her eyes drifted away, and her body twitched for a few seconds before her arms hung limply.

11 threw the corpse into the room, closed the door, and pulled Zhang Lingling, who was stupid and pale, out of this massage city.

The two did not take the car, walked briskly all the way home, and just walked into the gate of the community, 11 suddenly stopped. Said to Zhang Lingling: "Your parents are waiting for you at home." ”

Zhang Lingling trembled sharply like an electric shock, looked at 11 in surprise, and her dried eyes were moist again.

11 patted her on the shoulder and said, "This house is uninhabitable, they will soon find this place according to Ren Yingen's clues." You have to go back to live with your parents, the police will definitely find you in the next two days, as long as you insist that you don't know anything, I will help you solve the rest. ”

Zhang Lingling bit her lip lightly and said in a trembling voice: "But." What are you going to do?"

"Leave me alone, I'll be waiting for you at Century Square at twelve o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow. 11Then he stopped talking, and turned and hurried into the darkness.

"Brother!" Zhang Lingling shouted. turned around to chase after her, but 11 was too fast, and she could only watch the back gradually disappear into the field of her eyes. Before I knew it, tears had blurred my eyes.

In the moonlight, a slender figure stood still until a "Lingling" called her back to her senses. Zhang Lingling wiped the tears on her face, and turned around to see two middle-aged male and female wolves running from a distance.

As soon as the middle-aged woman ran closer, she hugged Zhang Lingling in her arms and cried bitterly: "Lingling." You're scared mom to death. ”

A middle-aged man stood nearby. Turning his head and wiping away tears.

Zhang Lingling wanted to open her mouth and call "Dad, Mom". But all the words were choked in my throat and could not be spoken.

The middle-aged man stroked Zhang Lingling's head and said softly, "Xiaoling, are you okay?"

Zhang Lingling shook her head gently with red eyes.

The middle-aged man choked up and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Let's go home......"

What a familiar and warm word, Zhang Lingling looked in the direction of 11 departure, and her tears could not be wiped away.

Brother, it turns out that I still have a home, and only you will stay by my side when I need it most. But brother, will you ever go home? The home that once belonged to us......

At this time, in the abandoned construction site where 11 and Zhang Lingling met for the first time, 11 dialed Ye Jian's number.

As soon as Ye Jian picked up the phone, he smiled and said, "Hey, you kid is ruthless enough, killing people doesn't count, and you burned the knife to massage the city." When I called him just now, the knife was still angrily scolding the people below, and as soon as I heard me say that you made the ground, he immediately stopped talking. Haha......"

11 asked lightly, "Have the police been here?"

"It's coming, it's coming, but I got a few more fires to roast a few corpses together, making it look like a gangster vendetta. As long as you don't say anything about that chick, the people in the massage city who have seen her go in will also let them shut up, and there is no evidence. ”

"There are still a few suspicions, some of her friends know that I live with her, although they have not seen me. ”

"That's fine, I'll find them, threaten them first and then give some benefits, I'm sure they won't talk nonsense. Really disobedient, and I don't mind letting them disappear forever. ”

11 was not moved by Ye Jian's cruel words, and said: "Also, if Ren Yingen moves away as soon as she dies, it will also make people suspicious." ”

Ye Jian scratched his head and said, "Then you still let her parents pick up people?

"No, she has to go back. If you have just seen a dead person, you have to live alone, and the mental pressure will be very great, and the mental trance is easy to show your feet. ”

"Okay, I'll call her home again to ventilate her parents and make sure they miss their daughter too much. Come and pick her up in the evening. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Hahaha...... Hey, when I called them and said that his daughter had been kidnapped, the man who answered the phone immediately cried and kept asking me how much it was. Hahaha......"

11 And he asked, "Is there anyone in the police?"

Ye Jian said with a smile: "You put a hundred hearts on the side of the strip, I will use some relationship with the knife." I guarantee that in the end, the gangster vendetta can't be killed, and it has nothing to do with your chick at all. ”

11 "Hmm" and said, "Don't let them find out about me." ”

"Yes. Oh yes, you can't go back to that house for a few days, why don't I arrange a place for you first?"

"No, I'll hide myself. After three days, help me get some stuff ready......"

As expected by 11, the police found Zhang Lingling the next day, and Zhang Lingling insisted that she had been at home last night. Later, her parents came and picked her up. And her parents also swore that they suddenly missed their daughter, so they ran over to pick her up. There are also no clues in the massage city, all the employees said that they had never seen Zhang Lingling, and no one knew who had come in room 301 and why it caught fire. After tossing and turning for two days, the police finally found the two "suspects" according to the "clues" left now. And the two suspects also admitted that they were the ones who killed and set the fire, and called several "witnesses" in the massage city to say in unison that they had seen these two people in and out of the massage city that night, and finally the murder and arson case was quickly closed under the promotion of people with good intentions.

Three days later, Century Square.

One was wearing a plain skirt. The innocent and cute girl was sitting alone on the lawn of the square, with her head down and not knowing what she was thinking. Mosquitoes swirled and danced above her head, but none of them fell, and it seemed that even the mosquitoes who only knew how to suck blood to survive were moved by this moment and were unwilling to destroy this beautiful artistic conception.

Today's Zhang Lingling didn't wear makeup, because he said that she looks better without makeup than makeup. So she decided that she would never wear heavy makeup again for the rest of her life.

The night is getting darker, and the bustling crowd in the square is gradually decreasing. In the end, only three or two couples were left to hide in the corner where the lights could not shine and make some ambiguous small movements.

Zhang Lingling looked at the time on her phone. It was already past 11:50 p.m. She couldn't remember how many times she had watched it tonight, probably more than she had seen it in the last year combined.

She actually came over early. I've been waiting here for four or five hours. But she didn't feel annoyed or anxious about waiting for someone like this, she just waited quietly for that person. Her sixteenth birthday was coming in a few minutes, and Zhang Lingling had already vaguely guessed why 11 would let her wait for him here at twelve o'clock today. I don't know what kind of gift he will give her? Actually, she doesn't care about gifts, she just wants to meet her brother, whose name is still unknown.

"How long have you waited?" suddenly a voice rang behind her. This voice is always so cold and emotionless, but at this moment, Zhang Lingling feels that it is even better than the sweet singing voice of Ouyang Yue'er, who is known as having the most moving voice in the world.

"Brother!" Zhang Lingling jumped up from the ground and threw herself into 11's arms with a happy face.

Zhang Lingling breathed a sigh of relief, he finally came. She was really afraid that he wouldn't show up tonight, and she was really afraid that he would leave without saying goodbye. Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, she didn't want to think about when it would be.

"Follow me. 11 led her to the depths of Century Square, where there was no half a figure, only fireworks neatly arranged.

The fireworks in the whole place occupy nearly 50 square meters, and there are so many of them. I'm afraid Zhang Lingling has never seen so many fireworks in her life.

Zhang Lingling opened her mouth wide, covered her mouth with her hands, and the corners of her eyes began to moisten again. It seems that the man next to her will always bring her so many surprises and so many touches.

"Brother......" Zhang Lingling looked up at the side face of 11, her face was still the same face, still so cold, but in her opinion, there was a little tenderness in the coldness.

11 didn't speak, took out a windproof lighter and walked into the fireworks, bent down and lit one.

"Chirp!" a red light pierced through the thin layer of oiled paper and soared into the sky, and then a cluster of colorful fireworks spread out in the sky and slowly fell.

Zhang Lingling was stupid, fireworks, she only told him. I hope that her family can accompany her to set off fireworks. At this moment, although there are no parents around. But with him, it's enough.

11 It took nearly five minutes to light all the fireworks, and at this moment, the sky above Century Square was colorful and dazzling, and the entire night sky was rendered with colorful fireworks. It doesn't matter if it's someone nearby or someone passing by. They all stopped to look at the most brilliant scene of their lives.

The fireworks are splendid, just like life, although they are short but gorgeous.

Zhang Lingling covered her mouth, tears poured down disobediently, and she couldn't finish wiping it off.

"Do you like it?" 11 asked softly, returning to her.

Lingling nodded heavily, her face full of sincere and touching smiles.

"Happy birthday. ”

"Brother!" Zhang Lingling threw herself into 11's arms and sobbed, "Thank you." ”

11 patted her on the back. He handed over the lighter, pointed to a firework in front of him that had not yet been lit, and said, "There is another one, you go and light it." ”

Zhang Lingling wiped her tears, took the lighter and smiled at 11, and ran to light the last firework. But when she just ran two steps back, she was stunned, because 1 was no longer behind her.

There, empty.

Zhang Lingling hurriedly searched around, taking advantage of the fireworks in the sky. But I have never been able to find that familiar and unfamiliar figure.

"Brother!!" Zhang Lingling shouted loudly, but her voice was quickly drowned out by the sound of fireworks.

"No need to scream, he's gone. ”

Zhang Lingling turned around and saw a man wearing a high-end suit. A very young man walked over.

She took two steps back, anxiously looking for the figure of 11, and asked warily, "Who are you?"

The man smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm his friend, my name is Ye Jian." ”

Zhang Lingling bit her lip and asked, "Where is my brother?"

Ye Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He's gone." ”

"Bang!" The fireworks lit by Zhang Lingling flew into the sky, turning into colorful fireworks and scattering all over the sky, illuminating the slender figure below and trembling uncontrollably.

"I don't believe it!" Zhang Lingling shouted: "My brother won't leave me!"

Ye Jian sighed and said, "He's such a person, he will always leave when you need it most. You and him are always two worlds. It's better to take this qiē as a good memory. ”

Zhang Lingling shook her head silently. His eyes were still searching the square, hoping to find the figure.

Elder brother. Why do you want to go? Why don't you say goodbye to me? I just want to say thank you, I just want to say thank you, I just want to say hello to you, it's really happy to be your sister......

Ye Jian walked to her side, looked up at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, and said softly: "He asked me to sue you, go home." ”

Zhang Lingling smiled bitterly, and the smile was very bitter and astringent.

Salty taste, is that tears?

Zhang Lingling looked up at Ye Jian and asked, "Can I see my brother again?"

Ye Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know. He raised his chin to the sky and said, "This is his birthday present to you, don't you appreciate it?" ”

Zhang Lingling wiped her tears and suddenly smiled. yes, what a beautiful gift.

She knows that she will never forget the figure of Jì for the rest of her life, the brilliant fireworks, and the person who left when the fireworks were the most brilliant.

Brother, you must be happy......

Although I don't know what you do, and I don't know your name, I promise you that you will be happier than me......

In the distance, a car drove towards the high road. In the distance, you can see the beautiful fireworks in the sky.

11 was sitting in the back seat looking at the brilliant fireworks in the distance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously picked up a little arc.

Perhaps, when this matter is resolved, it is time to go back and see Shin Shin.

Thinking of the little girl who pestered him all day long, liked to call and harass him in the middle of the night, and liked to say "The little pig hugged Chu Yuan's waist, Chu Yuan skimmed his legs, and the little pig pushed his waist", 1's face finally flashed a little smile.

He smiled.

For the first time in his life, he laughed.
